time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention

NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Apollo 3500 4500 amp 10000 series constitutes 3 families of powerful workstations uniquely designed for the intended research applications in the specialized field of Artificial Intelligence Since Apollos technology is the newest in its field there is no manufacturer that offers more computing power In addition there are a number of parlicular advantages that the Apollo workstations offer which no one else does especially in the area of parallel processing -This allows a problem to be broken up into constituent parts with several computers acting on the individual parts simultaneously This capability is extremely important in problem solving for
Artificial Intelligence

time

A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Apollo 3500 4500 amp 10000 series constitutes 3 families of powerful workstations uniquely designed for the intended research applications in the specialized field of Artificial Intelligence Since Apollos technology is the newest in its field there is no manufacturer that offers more computing power In addition there are a number of parlicular advantages that the Apollo workstations offer which no one else does especially in the area of parallel processing -This allows a problem to be broken up into constituent parts with several computers acting on the individual parts simultaneously This capability is extremely important in problem solving for
Artificial Intelligence

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel

EXPLANATION A year ago the Deparlnmnt of Computer and Information Science proposed the acquisition on a sole source basis of a family of specialized computer workstations with the justification that these powerful workstations were uniquely designed for supporting computer science research and more specifically Artificial Intelligence research When the vendor inaally cited was unable to deliver the order at an aggregate cost of $156712 the college learned that Apollo Computers Inc the oldest manufacturer of scientific wolkstations had completed the development of a new generation of workstations that are both cheaper and far superior to those of the previous contractor
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Apollo 3500 4500 amp 10000 series constitutes 3 families of powerful workstations uniquely designed for the intended research applications in the specialized field of Artificial Intelligence Since Apollos technology is the newest in its field there is no manufacturer that offers more computing power In addition there are a number of parlicular advantages that the Apollo workstations offer which no one else does especially in the area of parallel processing -This allows a problem to be broken up into constituent parts with several computers acting on the individual parts simultaneously This capability is extremely important in problem solving for
Artificial Intelligence

time

A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES

NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

Mrs Everett asked that the record show once agaln her thanks to Vlce-Chancellor Reld-Wallace and her offlce for the enonnous amount of work andthe support given to the campuses and also her thanks to the subcommttteas and the groups on each of the campuses who worked dillgently to get the matedal together The time frame Is a sh~ l i ken one but the problems are so severe that the Unlverslty does not have the luxury to spend a greater amount of
time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time

NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much

Mrs Everett asked that the record show once agaln her thanks to Vlce-Chancellor Reld-Wallace and her offlce for the enonnous amount of work andthe support given to the campuses and also her thanks to the subcommttteas and the groups on each of the campuses who worked dillgently to get the matedal together The time frame Is a sh~ l i ken one but the problems are so severe that the Unlverslty does not have the luxury to spend a greater amount of
time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention

NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

Mrs Everett asked that the record show once agaln her thanks to Vlce-Chancellor Reld-Wallace and her offlce for the enonnous amount of work andthe support given to the campuses and also her thanks to the subcommttteas and the groups on each of the campuses who worked dillgently to get the matedal together The time frame Is a sh~ l i ken one but the problems are so severe that the Unlverslty does not have the luxury to spend a greater amount of
time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention

A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

Mrs Everett asked that the record show once agaln her thanks to Vlce-Chancellor Reld-Wallace and her offlce for the enonnous amount of work andthe support given to the campuses and also her thanks to the subcommttteas and the groups on each of the campuses who worked dillgently to get the matedal together The time frame Is a sh~ l i ken one but the problems are so severe that the Unlverslty does not have the luxury to spend a greater amount of
time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement

EXPLANATION The Report on Teaching and Faculty Development of the Task Force on Education Programs and Curriculum Impact provides a comprehensive set of recommendations to strengthen the educational and professional preparation of future Secondary School teachers This resolution which reflects faculty advice and testimony endorses the Report and invites the faculty of each senior college to develop a plan for its implementation It challenges the faculties to address these fundamental issues by exercising the traditional role of the faculty in the development of curriculum
Mrs Everett asked that the record show once agaln her thanks to Vlce-Chancellor Reld-Wallace and her offlce for the enonnous amount of work andthe support given to the campuses and also her thanks to the subcommttteas and the groups on each of the campuses who worked dillgently to get the matedal together The time frame Is a sh~ l i ken one but the problems are so severe that the Unlverslty does not have the luxury to spend a greater amount of
time
Ms Carrlon expressed acknowledgment and thanks to Mrs Everett for spearheading the Task Force She stated that she had read the reports whlch are excellent The school system really Is In dlre need of good teachers and CHy Unlverslty should be In the forefront of that movement She thanked Mrs Everett for her foresight In brlnglng thls matter to the Boards attention
The Chalrperson stated that by 1995 more than haH of the current teachlng cadre In the publlc schools wlll be ellglble for retirement TradlUonally the Unlverslty has been the place where teachers In the publlc schools have been tralned There Is a great need and thls analysls Is very timely
NO 9 AD HOC COMMIllEE ON M E ClTY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE RESOLVED That the following action be approved
A THE ClTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AT QUEENS COLLEGE - GOVERNANCE PLAN
The resolution was moved and seconded
Vlce-Chancellor Bloom described the proposed amendments
Wlth respect to the amendment addlng a student to membership on the Personnel and Budget Commtttee Mr Muhammad asked why R was proposed that the student be a non-votlng member He polnted out that the student would have one vote on the commtttee and therefore would not be able to outvote the other members of the committee He asked
that the student be Included as a votlng member of the commmee
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM

SECRETARY MARTIN J WARMBRAND
129 Minutes of Proceedings June 26 1989
The Chairperson asked If there Is any place In the Unlverslty where there Is student partlclpatlon In a P amp B cornmlttee and whether there are any places where such partlclpatlon Is In the form of a votlng partlclpatlon Vlce-Chancellor Bloom stated that he would have to check that but to the best of his recollection there are several colleges that follow the pattern of havlng the students as non-votlng members of the committee Mr Muhammad stated hls belled that there Is a votlng student member at Medgar Evers Vice-Chancellor Bloom stated that the proposaldekates the more typlcal pattern He pointed out that the student on the search cornmlttee would be a votlng member Mr Muhammad considered thls a travesty and suggested that the Unlverslty should move away from what Is considered the norm and toward a more student-centered posltlon so that students would feel that they are part of the process He polnted out that there are two ways of accompilshlng thls One Is that the Board of Trustees would pass thls and the other Is that all the students would raise a leglslatlve lssue In Albany and request that thls be mandated It was polnted out that at John Jay College the student members of the College P amp B cornmlttee amphave the vote
Chancellor Murphy stated that the lssue of students votlng on P amp B committees has been around the Unlverstty for about twenty years and has been raised perlodlcally In dlfferent lnstltutlons wlth different governance plans and has been dealt wtth In different ways The different colleges have dlfferent governance plans whlch Is why the Unlverslty goes through the process of examlnlng governance plans for dlfferent Instltutlons approving them and lncorporatlng them into the Bylaws of the Unlverstty in the past the argument has been made that students amp in fact have and ought to have a role In maklng personnel determlnatlons of one klnd or another particularly wtth
regard to recruitment The questlon as to the P amp B a dellcate mechanlsm at best Is one In whlch the whole portrait of a particular tacutty member is taken Into account lncludlng publlcatlons research and other contrlbutlons to k n o w l w and culture The presumption Is that colleagues and peers ought to make judgments about thelr colleagues and peers In t ha~e contexts Where a viable department exlsts that Is almost Inevitably the way In whlch thlngs proceed The presumption further Is that If students have the ablllty to make these Informed judgments they would not be students but would be members of the faculty That Is one of the reasons why the Unlverslty practlces what It presumably practlces it Is subject to further refinement and conslderatlon but he doubted that thls was the occaslon for It No one would be opposed to havlng thls lssue ralsed once agaln as It has been In the past by the varlous committees of the Board and treated with the same respect as a complex and dlfflcult lssue as It has been Inthe past
The Chalrperson stated that If the Board were to approve havlng a student on the Commlttee the Chancellor and the Presldent could stlll reconsider the matter of the vote
Mrs Everett stated that If a student slts on the committee It would be appropriate for that student to have a vote on the commlttee She would not want to hold up the whole governance plan because of thls Issue but she would be favorably dlsposed to approve a vote for the student on the cornmlttee
Mr Howard expressed agreement wtth Mrs Everetrs statement
Ms Carrlon also expressed the oplnlon that the student should have a vote on the cornmlttee
The Chalrperson stated that the Board had two alternatives The Chancellor had spoken to the fundamental nature of the questlon Except for some exceptional clrcurnstances around the University student partlclpatlon where there is partlclpatlon is a non-votlng partlclpatlon The Chalrperson suggested that rather than amend the
recommendation at thls time either the whole lssue of student partlclpatlon on the P amp B committee should be pulled and the Board go toward wttn the other Items and vote for the other recornmendatlons that the Dean the Presldent and the Chancellors representative have brought to the Board These recommendations were revlewed by the Law School Committee last week and were approved by all the members of the Law School Cornmlttee who were present The student member of the Committee was not present He suggested that the matter of the student vote on the P amp B committee be taken up agaln In September slnce It was not llkely that the P amp B cornmlttee would do much
before then
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Ms Carrlon suggested that the Board vote the recommendatlon as R stands and then send R back for reconslderatlon on that polnt wlth a specMlc mandate to the Commlttee to examlne thls lssue agaln
Dr Bemsteln stated that she would Ilke to see thls issue discussed more fully She had no posltlon on thls matter at the moment bu t would llke more lnfonnatlon on the actlvltles of the Personnel and Budget Commlttee what the practlce Is In the Unlverslty etc and then not force any college to do one thlng or another but glve them all permlsslon to glve the students the vote tf they wlshed to do so
Mr Howard suggested laying over the entire recommendatlon and taklng It up agaln In September The Chalrperson suggested the posslblltty of taklng action on the thres amendments that were not controversial and leavlng thls one open or dolng all four maklng It clear on the basls of the dlscusslon that the group that developed the amendments be directed In consubtlon wfth the Law School Commfflee to look at the lssue openly and thoroughly and present thelr vlews at the September Board mestlng
Mrs Everett asked what the negatlve fallout would ba tf the Board voted for only three of the amendments The Chalrperson replled that there are search commfflees for faculty and R Is Important to c l a m the procedures that the President must go through As chairperson of the Law School Commlttee he pledged publlcly to look at thls P amp B commlttee lssue thoroughly and openly
Mr Howard stated that slnce the four amendments were presented together they not be dlsassoclated lest one or another be lost
The Chalrperson asked tf Mr Muhammad had a problem with the Boards adoptlng the amendments and referring the lssue under questlon to the Commfflee Mr Muhammad replied that R was not that he dld not bust the Chalrpersons wllllngness and Judgment but he saw no need for further revlew He asked for the votlng privilege for the student Chancellor Murphy had referred to Informed Judgment and understandlng The students are an
lntelllgent group of people wlth an average agn of 27 who declded to come back to college to acqulre a hlgher level of education If that Item Is pulled there wlll not be a student on the cornmlttee If R Is allowed to go through to be reconsidered at a future date what wlll happen Is that the student wlll sIt wlthout the votlng privilege The student was not present at the Law School Commfflee because he had graduated He asked the Board to strlke the word non and glve the votlng privllega to the student and move forward
A moUon was made seconded and carrled that the snllre resoldon be referred back to the Ad Hoc Commfflee on The Clty Unlverslty of New York School of Law at Queens College
Mr Muhammad voted NO
On unanlmous consent of the Members present the Board went Into executive sesslon to conslder personnel
matters The publlc meetlng was adjourned at 607 PM
